Couple Posing Guide: Natural & Romantic Photo Ideas
One of the biggest concerns couples have leading up to their nuptials can be summed up by the following statement:
“How do we pose?”
Here’s the good news you actually don’t need to know how to pose! The best wedding images are created through natural connections between people rather than through complicated posing techniques. The more relaxed you are with each other and the less focused you are on the camera, the more your images will look romantic, real and beautiful.
At Phylum Weddings, we strive to provide couples with a comfortable environment where they can express their true selves. As a result of this approach, many couples have come to trust us as their top choice for wedding photography in Ernakulam.
Below are easy-to-follow posing suggestions so you can look your best and feel confident throughout your special day.

1. Walk Together
This is going to be one of your easiest and most natural-looking poses!
The traditional pose of standing in one place doesn’t lend itself to a lot of movement. Therefore, when it comes to capturing beautiful wedding photographs of newlyweds, have the couple simply walk slowly while holding hands and engaging in conversation and/or laughter.
Instead of posing for the camera, the newlywed couple should be concentrating on one another.
Why This Works:
- There is less stiffness when there is movement.
- The expressions of both people will appear natural.
- Cinematic photographs will result.
2. Touching Foreheads
This is an old, classic pose often used in the scene of two people who are in love.
To do the pose, stand very close together and put one forehead against the other while closing your eyes or lightly smiling at one another. You can also be holding hands or have one hand on your partner’s shoulder.
Do not put any pressure on your smile; simply slow down, take a deep breath, and just relax.
This pose looks amazing during sunset time and will help to create emotional images.
3.Look Away Moment
You do not always have to look at the camera when taking pictures of you and your partner.
The first partner will be looking into the other partner’s eyes and the second partner will be looking away from the first partner. This makes for a story-telling type of effect the image gives a movie-like feel which makes it very authentic.
This is a great pose for couples that feel shy around cameras.

4. Laughing Pose
The best example of a natural photo is when the couple is laughing together.
We will often ask couples to:
Come up with a funny memory to share.
Tell something funny through the use of their voices in close proximity to each other.
Use teasing as a way of creating a fun atmosphere to create laughter between them.
Within seconds these couples will have created beautiful images that will become some of their favorite images from their wedding day.
5. Hand Holding Portrait
The image created by the couple’s hands shows the emotion.
Simple close-up images of them holding and/or adjusting their rings and interlocking fingers can each be very meaningful. These small details will help to create deeper emotional connections with your wedding story.
6.The Groom’s Admiration for the Bride
This moment is always beautiful.
The bride’s gaze is slightly off to the side and the groom’s gaze is natural and directed towards the bride. The groom’s expression often evokes some of the most emotional images for the entire wedding.
There is no act necessary the Moment is true.
7.The Spin Shot
Perfect for reliant or bridal dress images.
As the groom spins the bride around, the motion brings life and energy into the image and creates a dreamlike and soft framing of the couple.
8.The Intimate Conversation
Instead of posing, just stand together and converse.
We ask couples to think about:
- Their first meeting
- Their memories while planning their wedding
- Their hopes for the future;
While conversing with each other, their expressions are often transformed naturally, which creates the most romantic images.
Tips to Look Natural in Wedding Photography
- Do not think about where or if there is a camera
- Concentrate on your partner
- Stand closely together, as having a large space between you often makes it look awkward
- Relax your shoulders
- You should move slowly instead of standing straight up and down without any movement
- Trust your professional photographer
Remember, your goal is not to be perfect, but to demonstrate your feelings!
Why Professional Guide Photographer Matters
Professional photographers never force a couple into a pose.
They create situations for couples where true feelings happen naturally.
At Phylum Weddings, we used to call this practice fun and lighthearted direction instead of direction. This allows the couple to feel comfortable and enjoy themselves while we capture the magic of this special day.
Conclusion
You can appear gorgeous in your wedding photos even if you are not a model because all that really matters is that you are true to who you are.
The best romantic photographs result from the genuine connection between people; whether that connection is demonstrated through a smile, laughter, emotional gazing at each other, or holding hands. After many years, these photographs will show the true emotion of your wedding day, rather than how you physically looked.
Be at ease and enjoy the events of your wedding, allowing your love to dictate the poses.
